The standout acts of the 2018 series will embark on a 16 date tour starting in February next year, stopping off in Belfast on March 6, 2019. The lineup will likely include popular runners up and the show's winner, who will be crowned in the lead up to Christmas.

Becca Dudley, who fronts the talent shows digital coverage, will retain her role of presenting the tour.
